Snowbrush Ceanothus is an evergreen, nitrogen-fixing shrub that is native to the Pacific Northwest. Shiny evergreen leaves and fragrant beautiful flowers makes Snowbrush Ceanothus an excellent choice for the native home garden. Consider this plant for corners, edges, or to maintain winter color underneath deciduous trees. Or even as a center piece to show off it's eye-catching flowers.
Like most shrubs, newly-planted Ceanothus should be watered regularly and thoroughly, especially during summer, for the first few years until their roots are well-established.
Ceanothus need little or no regular feeding in most garden soils. However to encourage strong new growth after pruning, plants can be fed annually in spring.
Ceanothus like a fertile, well-drained soil and won’t thrive where it is heavy or overly wet. To improve drainage, dig-in some organic matter, like leaf mould or well-rotted manure, before planting.
Ceanothus are pruned differently depending on flowering time and whether the plant is evergreen or deciduous
